Advanced Testing and Safety Technologies

Automated testing for all donated units

Every unit of voluntary blood donation undergoes a complete panel of automated tests, including:

  • Blood grouping
  • Antibody screening

We use advanced chemiluminescence technology, superior to conventional ELISA, offering:

  • Reduced window period for HIV, HBV, HCV and other TTIs

Precision through automation

These modern technologies help us move towards 100% safe blood and aim for “Zero Error” by:

  • Minimizing manual intervention
  • Increasing reproducibility of results
